Spot rates,
across the whole shipping
window — not just one date.
OTMNow Spot DFN extends Oracle OTM’s native Spot capability — quoting connected carriers across a flexible, multi-day window so planners see the real cost-and-timing trade-off before they tender.
One date isn’t a market. A window is.
Native OTM Spot quotes a single ship date. DFN quotes a flexible, multi-day window — every connected carrier, every candidate date — alongside contract rates and Digital Freight Brokers, with rules that let automation handle the obvious and planners handle the exceptions.
Quote the same lane to every connected carrier across a date range you define — not Oracle’s single-date limit — and pick the best combination of cost and timing.
See spot bids alongside contract rates and Digital Freight Brokers in one view, so the planner always knows when to play the market and when to honor the contract.
Define lanes and savings thresholds — DFN auto-selects spot rates when they beat contract by your rule, with planner notification when lowest cost is overridden.
Four ways to find the right rate.
Spot Shipment
Look for rate options across a configurable date range based on a planned shipment — extending OTM Spot beyond its single-date constraint.
Spot Order
Quote spot rates from order data across a flexible date range before the shipment is even planned — let the rate inform when and how to ship.
Spot Quote
Like OTM RIQ — get spot rates by source, destination, weight, volume, and date without an order or shipment in the system.
Automation & Governance
Configure carrier endpoints, request fields, lane rules, and savings thresholds. Notify users when the lowest-cost option isn’t selected — and capture the reason.
